Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

The first examples make my previous opinion change a bit. The first three kind of work: they are improvement over later depiction, they add a layer of speculation with more quality, why not. But you really need to be careful about proposing "improvements" of primary sources, see the comments you get here or on imgur. The fresco with 4 character is an example of what should not be done: you turn a roman fresco into a renaissance painting (looks like Rubens style?).

Your tool can be useful, you changed my mind about it with the lighthouse of Alexandria reconstruction. But really, choose your examples more carefully. Some are akin to writing a manga version of Batman and calling it an improvement. It is a core difference in style that not everyone will like.

Yes -- I must never use the word 'improve' again that is clear haha -- Do you like 'modernize' 'update' ? which words are least upsetting?

Somewhere else someone gave me the idea to build different fine tune models that are more aware of styles and techniques from different periods. Thanks for the great feedback I appreciate you!

I wanted to not cherry pick examples and so I just did 15 images and posted them to see how the 'anger' reaction has changed since last time.

I would suggest to maybe use it more on imaginary rendition, of fiction or literature. Or on colorizing some specific styles like engravings.

I actually have an old project that illustrates books automatically -- https://github.com/pwillia7/booksplitter

I haven't looked at it in a while -- good idea and I'll try to rebuild that on this stack. Here's an example output from that (this is pretty 'dumb' and is just generating prompts based on the text and has some style locking with prompts) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IsnynQZoxOBmZx9Jac4DfWn15YCevG63CxsIkbu8tgE/edit
